Top rating of the best YouTube video bloggers in Russia

Progress does not stand still, and if earlier, in order to earn money, you had to go to work, now it is enough to create a video blog on YouTube and the business will start to move forward. But what is video blogging? How to make money on this? And who can you look up to? We will reveal these questions in the publication.

Video blog, what kind of fruit and what it is eaten with.

A video blog is one of the types of blogs where information is conveyed not in writing or graphically, but in a video. Recordings of such videos very often combine embedded video, textual support, music, photographs or pictures. Recordings can be different: a video can consist of one block or several parts. Today, the main and only platform on which all video blogs are focused is the YouTube channel. It was created in 2005, and the Russian-language version appeared in 2007.

Today anyone can create a blog, no matter if they have a professional camera or not. It doesn't even matter if he can speak well. In some cases, slight burr or stuttering can even become a blogger's "trick". But first things first.

1. The first thing for blogging is regularity. Viewers will not subscribe to an empty channel, which has only 5 entries from two years ago. The viewer always wants to see something new, and if this new appears constantly (at least once a week), then subscribers (like Pavlov's dogs) will develop a conditioned reflex, and they will watch the channel constantly. Of course, you still need to come to this - negative reviews, dislikes and complete "ignore", this is a normal situation for a beginner blogger. The so-called quiet time, when a blogger can improve his speech and start feeling more free in front of the camera. In addition, you don't need to think that no one will see the video - there has never been a video on YouTube that no one has watched.
2. The second rule of a video blogger is video quality. This is especially true for those who need to focus on the details. It is much easier for the viewer to find a similar video than to peer at the screen trying to guess what they are trying to tell him about. And there is no need to immediately run to the shops for professional cameras, ordinary "soap dishes" will do this task well, the main thing is that the room is well lit. The same thing applies to sound, the viewer will not listen attentively, so you need to speak loudly and clearly.
3. Music and screensaver are important, but not very necessary things in a blog. And if a blogger decided to please himself with a thematic intro for a video, it should not be very long and intrusive. As for the music that can be heard in between, then it should not cause irritation.
4. And last but not least, the blogger's personality. As the statistics show, those bloggers, charismatic and joyful, have the most subscribers. The viewer, of course, will appreciate the constructiveness of the information provided, but if it is read in an emotionless and sluggish voice, then even the most patient will turn off the video.The character, charisma and energy of a person can be clearly traced on the record, and if a blogger by nature does not have amazing charisma, he can fix it by adding a few of his own comments, a couple of jokes (those who have a bad sense of humor, it is better to refrain) and some interesting facts ...

Newbie mistakes

It is not that difficult to create blogs in video format, but nevertheless, beginners make a number of common mistakes. Among them, there are 3 main ones:

• Lack of purpose. Some novice video bloggers to the question: "Why did you create a blog?" can only answer an indistinct: "That was." And there are 90% of such “cadres”. Because of this approach, many are disappointed in video blogging. To prevent this from happening, you need to set specific goals for yourself, for example: "I want to earn so much on a blog a month in order to go to Japan in such and such a year." It is important to set a specific goal and exact time, then the work will go much better.
• Not regularity. As already mentioned, the blog needs to be systematically filled with new videos. If you upload 1 video a month, then the blogger will reach the intended goal, in the best case, in 8 years. One or two new videos a week is enough.
• No channel web page. It is also called an accumulative page. It is especially relevant for those who wish to make money on video. Such pages can be sites with a button to subscribe to a blog or groups in social networks, they will allow you to "save" a random viewer and make him part of the audience of regular subscribers.

In general, all blogs can be divided into types according to criteria. For example, types of blogs are ranked by publication, number of authors, purpose of creation, content format (this includes video blogs) and by scale of activity. Starting to keep your video blog, you need to decide on only two criteria: the purpose and the type of video. Today the following typology of videos is distinguished:

• Instructions or training - the blogger shows how to use something correctly, this topic is always in demand, because it is much easier for the user to look than to read.
• Review - recently it has been gaining more and more popularity, since many users have begun to make purchases through the Web, they are interested in what item will come from this or that store.
• Vlog - yes, the name is correct, vlog, it's a video diary. The blogger shows her daily activities: trips, gatherings with friends or shopping trips.
• Sketch - or staged scenes depicting comical situations. These are original miniature films with their own plot.
• Lat's play - a video about how a gamer goes through the next level in the game.
• The show is or the last refuge for those who have not yet got on TV, the main thing is to present an interesting idea.
• Interview - strange, but this type of video is also very popular, because many fans will want to look at their idol in a new role. But, since there are so many idols, there is nowhere to take, then you can simply ask funny questions to passers-by, this will definitely interest passers-by.

And as mentioned, video blogging can be profitable. How much do bloggers earn? It all depends on the number of subscribers. So, blogs whose number of subscribers exceeds 1 million can earn from 200 thousand to 1.5 million rubles a month. And if you do not take such large-scale figures, and, for example, the average number of subscribers is 5000, then a blogger can get at least $ 150 per month. The policy here is simple, a blogger gets $ 1 for 1000 views.

YouTube channels: what they are and the most popular ones.

What is a video blog, the main types, how to create it and how much you can earn is already clear. The question remains, what are YouTube channels? Channels are where the blogger uploads their videos. Viewers subscribe exclusively to the channel, not as to the recording itself. If a blogger has his own channel, you can monetize it, and if not, create it.

The TOP 10 most famous channels in the world are:

1. In the first place is the channel of a blogger from Sweden called "Pew Die Pie". It has over 36.9 million subscribers to date. It was created in 2010 and since then 2500 videos have been uploaded to it.
2. Second place belongs to a channel called "Hola Soy German", which was created by a blogger from Chile. The number of subscribers to date is 22.3 million. The channel has been operating since 2011, during this time 128 videos have appeared on it, with a total complexity of views of more than 2 billion.
3. In third place is the channel with two owners: "America's child" called "Smosh". The number of subscribers has long crossed the 19 million mark. The channel began broadcasting at the end of 2004 and during this time more than 500 videos have appeared on it.
4. The fourth place also belongs to the channel from the USA. Rihanna VEVO has 16.7 million subscribers, was created in 2009, and has been uploaded 92 videos over the years.
5. And again, America is ahead of the rest, in fifth place is the channel "Katy Perry VEVO", which has 16.5 million viewers and 89 videos.
6. Finally, a channel from the UK burst into the TOP-10 list. Sixth place is taken by the broadcast "One Direction VEVO". The broadcast began in 2010, with 157 videos and 16.3 million subscribers on the channel.
7. And again, the USA does not want to concede the seventh place to anyone: the Eminem VEVO channel - 56 videos and 15 million viewers.
8. In eighth place is the canal, which is run by a pretty American woman, it is named after her "Jenna Marbles". The channel has 253 videos and 15 million subscribers.
9. The ninth place also belongs to the channel, which is run by a blogger from America - "Nigahiga". Today the number of subscribers is 14 million, and the channel has 239 videos.
10. And the last, tenth place belongs to the channel "Taylor Swift VEVO", which has 14 million viewers and 70 videos. It has existed since 2009.

As you can see, there are no Russian channels in the world TOP, so the best bloggers in Russia will be presented in a separate list.

TOP-8 best bloggers of Runet

• 1 place

In first place in terms of the number of subscribers is a blogger with the nickname Ivangai, aka Ivan Rudskiy from Dnepropetrovsk. He started his blogging career in 2015 and shot letplays, that is, videos with game playthroughs. Later he began to shoot sketches and create funny animations, now he talks about himself and his life.

• 2nd place

Now the second place is taken by Maxim Golopolosov, and for so many years he occupied the leading, first position. What can I say, probably, age takes its toll. He is the host of the weekly show "Plusstopitsot" (or "+100500"), as you might guess the name was taken from the famous Internet meme. For those who don't know, this meme means complete agreement with someone's opinion.

The blogger records reviews of funny videos, and does not regret the comic comments that he gets surprisingly sincerely. Perhaps that's why he has so many followers. Although recently other bloggers have been blogging for Maxim, who, though not so much, are still famous. And Maxim himself is still busy with his other blog, in which he talks about what is happening in his life.

• 3rd place

In third place is a native of Ukraine - Yuriy Yaniv and his weekly channel with an interesting name "Cream Show". In his videos, he talks about interesting things, and there is also a cat. Perhaps thanks to him, the blogger managed to break into the top three so quickly.

• 4th place

The fourth place belongs to a blogger from Latvia. His show "This is Good" is somewhat reminiscent of the format of Maxim Golopolosov's videos, but people seem to like this format. Videos from the YouTube channel "This is Good" were even broadcast on Channel One. Three people are involved in the project: V. Golovanov, S. Davydov, S. Fedorenko.
